    Lucas is hurt. :(

    When we all got home from adoption day yesterday, I saw Lucas holding up one front leg. I thought "NOW what did you do to yourself?". But he has what appears to he a bite hole in his shoulder area. Or possibly a claw mark. And the top part of this front leg looks a bit swollen. It does not seem to be absessing nor is it bleeding but since I already had an appointment at the vet this morning for 3 "yearly" physicals, I will just substitiue Lucas for one of the ladies (lucky girl, won't get the dreaded jabs today). I figure we will get antibiotics to prevent infection and he'll have to wait out the soreness, but better to have it looked at by the experienced eye in case I missed something.

    I hope he's OK and it isn't anything too serious!

    You don't think one of the other three did something to him to try to get out of going to the Vet., do you? I mean, some cats will do just about ANYTHING to get out of going to see the whitecoats........

    Seriously, though, please let us know how he does.......

    Poor Lucas!! What have they done to you while meowmie was away?

    Yes, better have him checked by a vet, just in case a ligament is affected (which would explain why he is holding up his paw).

    Hope you'll feel better soon, little boy!

    Poor Lucas!

    As for leaving someone home -
    Whenever I have an "extra" critter that needs to see the White Coat;
    I just take the "extra" along with the "scheduled" ones ...

    Most White Coats will in an "extra" patient.

    Uh Oh, sounds like a cat fight happened! Hope all goes well at the vet!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
